How fish overwinter

Fish for the winter gather in flocks for the winter. They descend into the depths of rivers and lakes. Their body is covered with mucus as a fur coat.

Fish spend the winter deep at the bottom. At the bottom water does not freeze even in severe frosts. By winter, the fish becomes motionless, sluggish.

Fish overwinter in different ways.

Carp, carp bury themselves in the mud at the bottom of the pond and survive until spring. They are immobile and lose their appetite.

Many fish go into hibernation, catfish, tench, bream, roach. They lay on the bottom or buried in the mud.

Difficult fish under the ice in winter. The algae begin to rot, the air gets under the ice smaller, and the fish hard to breathe. So people punch rivers hole through which the ice enters clean air.

Predatory fish do not sleep even in winter, burbot, pike, perch.

Burbot is very nimble and voracious predator, as a wolf, only water. He eats fish, frogs, eggs. Nalim loves cold water. Burbot hunt at night. And when the water becomes warm again, burbot becomes sluggish and immobile.

Trout, whitefish, salmon love cold water. In the fall they do on the bottom of the pit nests, lay eggs in them. In the spring of this calves will appear small fish – kids. They are called “fry”.
